EARSHOTby MORRIS PANYCH

‘Earshot’ is a black comedy by one of Canada’s
foremost current playwrights. Doyle, a twitchy recluse, has hypersensitive hearing due to a
bungled back street operation in his youth. Now he can not only hear a pin
drop, he can hear it dropping!Living in an apartment block the intimate worlds of all his
neighbours invade his own with every sound they make. He detests the whistler below, despises the writer above and
fantasises to no avail about his neighbour next door. It’s all too much to bear
But Doyle has a drastic plan to make it all better …This play is a wonderfully written and unusual
comedy about alienation and unrequited love.

'Earshot' has never before been performed in the UK. Freerange is delighted and proud to produce the UK Premiere tour.
